The Ku Klux Klan says it’s planning a recruiting rally in Madison County next month.

The Klan passed out literature in Johnson County last week, with contact information for Imperial Wizard Richard Preston.  Preston says the flyers are being distributed in about 14 states.

Preston says his group is staging a rally at the Madison County Courthouse on September 24.  He says the group will not stop building the “Confederate White Knights.”

James Burgess is president of the Madison County NAACP.  He says the Klan isn’t welcome in Madison County, calling it a terrorist organization.  County commissioners say they haven’t issued any rally permits, and it’s unclear if one is needed.
